Group names Columbus one of world's most intelligent cities

Thursday

Columbus was named one of the world's most intelligent communities this year by a think tank called the Intelligent Community Forum.

Columbus is the only U.S. city on the list and joins Oulu, Finland; Stratford, Ontario:, Taichung City, Taiwan; Tallinn, Estonia; Taoyuan County, Taiwan and Toronto, Ontario on the list.

According to the group's website, cities are required to submit a nomination packet that the forum then reviews. The cities chosen are deemed the best in areas of broadband internet connectivity and usage, how well its workforce assesses and obtains information, how it helps businesses grow through technology and how well a city markets its advances in technology.
